There are a few imo just based on ranking(one site or the other) or just lack of hype. I'll list in my order from biggest sleeper on down

1 Melvin Jones-how in the frick does Rivals watch his film and see a 3*? 6'3 250 kids shouldn't move like this guy. I also think he is seriously being underhyped by everyone. The kid is on par with the top 100 players in the country imo. His size/athleticism combo is pretty rare. Bama offered at LB and that tells me the guy is pretty damn good. That staff is pretty good at evaluating LBs

2 Micheal Patterson-gets the nod over Neal because of upside. This kid has it all potentially. Needs to add bulk but he's smart and extremely athletic. Could be Mingo part 2 but bigger

3 Lewis Neal-I completely understand why he's ranked so low but all these kids can't be ranked based on upside. He's as good a pass rusher as this class has to offer nationally. Not the quickest, strongest or most athletic but all he does is make an impact when rushing the passer. He went against the best all spring and summer and more than held his own

4 Kevin Spears- has a nice ceiling. Gets compared to Armand Williams alot but while he's not the same athlete that Williams is, he's probably a better wr currently than Williams is and that's with Williams' couple of years in the LSU program. Williams is purely an athlete playing football. Spears happens to be a football player that got a late start.

5 Maquedius Bain-how he's a 3* is a mystery to me. His potential is pretty damn high. Size, strength and plus athleticism. I love the take personally. He fits the type that we blossom into studs

6 Duke Riley-xnot a knock on Riley that he's this low. I just think he gets a decent amount of credit for how good he is. His size limits his pure upside imo though I think for the college level he's fine.
